eal/arm: add vector memcpy for ARMv7

The SSE based memory copy in DPDK only support x86. This patch
adds ARM NEON based memory copy functions for ARM architecture.

The implementation improves memory copy of short or well aligned
data buffers. The following measurements show improvements over
the libc memcpy on Cortex CPUs.
